Overview
Penrite Small Engine SAE 30 is a 5 litre bottle of engine oil formulated for small four stroke engines. It is the oil to keep on hand for the petrol and diesel engines in the pressure washer range, generators, water pumps, mowers and other small machinery that call for a straight SAE 30 oil.
Keeping the correct oil in a small engine is one of the simplest ways to protect it: the oil film separates the moving parts, carries heat away and keeps the engine clean. A 5 litre bottle is the practical size for a pressure washer and other small engines, because it covers several oil changes and is easy to store in the workshop. The correct grade of oil keeps the engine cool, clean and protected under load, and regular oil changes are the single most important service item on any small engine.

What You Need to Complete the Job
Use the oil when servicing the Powerease 15HP pressure cleaner, the Honda GX390 3500 PSI machine or the diesel machines in the Pressure Washers range. Check the engine manufacturer’s oil recommendation before filling, and see the Pressure Washers Accessories range for the rest of the kit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What engines is this oil for?
It is a straight SAE 30 oil for small four stroke engines, which covers the petrol and diesel engines on pressure cleaners, generators, water pumps, lawn mowers and similar small machinery. Always check the engine manual for the manufacturer’s recommended oil before use.
Why use a straight SAE 30 oil?
Many small air cooled engines specify a straight SAE 30 oil because it holds its viscosity at operating temperature and provides a stable film at the higher running temperatures of an air cooled engine. That is why small engine ranges carry a straight 30 grade rather than a multigrade.
Is this the right size for a pressure cleaner?
Yes. A 5 litre bottle covers the typical sump capacity of a small pressure cleaner engine several times over, so it lasts across multiple oil changes. It stores easily on a workshop shelf and is the size to keep in the kit for the machines.
